These books arrived this weekend. I’m looking forward to all of them. I love my job! Less fond of crapcam, though. Just in case you can’t read them, it’s The Origins of Political Order, Fukuyama, Aerotropolis, Karsarda/Lindsay, Homeschooling, Guess, and Day of the Oprichnik, Sorokin. Two fiction, two non-fiction. My TBR pile is often a bit more upmarket than my TBV list (which is full of Dr Who, Game of Thrones, and Babylon 5).

Wendy, I'm so sorry you're ill. Get well soon. I also re-read the people I think of as English Landscape Writers (Treece, Sutcliff, Stewart) whenn I'm ill. So soothing to be out there with the plovers and curlews…

I loved Aerotropolis, but then I'm a geek for books about how the future will look and function. Urban planning has to be high up on any list of this century's most crucial fields. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

sara, because I'll be introducing Carol Guess at a reading in a couple of weeks, and it seemed like a good idea to read some of her work. I've been meaning to read something of hers for ages, so it all works out.
